Therefore, the 2023 Children's Festival aims to create a beneficial playground, providing opportunities for children to learn about science and technology, enjoy art and cuisine, and engage in cultural exchange. Through this, we hope to convey to them a message about love, solidarity, sharing, and the positive values in life.
